Lynch expected that at least two lanes of the four-lane road would be open, with a bump, today.

Lynch said a 12-inch-diameter, dead-end pipe cracked down its length. The pipe Tís onto a 16-inch main that runs under Wright Road.

Crews were working to remove the damaged pipe and replace a section about 14 feet long.

The 12-inch pipe was installed years ago when plans called for an intersection at that point, about 500 feet south of Palmer Drive, Lynch said. That road was never built. The pipe had to be fixed because it supplies a fire hydrant.
